Realisation

The website was realized by the Israeli photographer Ardon
Bar-Hama commissioned by the Jewish Cultural Quarter, in
collaboration with Bibliotheca Rosenthaliana, Special Collections
of the University of Amsterdam and the National Library of Israel.
The digitizing and cataloging was made possible by the
Gieskes-Strijbis Fonds, the SNS Reaal Fonds and the BankGiro
Loterij.
